Couldnt a moving faraday cage act as a tracking beacon?

Subject of interest to specifically pop up on cams.

I was thinking the faraday bag could show up as a black negative spot on the back of an otherwise moving human assuming one were using the WiFi signal vision trick.

How would you detect and track somebody with a faraday bag?
I think they’re assuming always-on fully body scanners like the TSA uses. Real time nude video feeds of the whole planet are the only thing protecting us from terrorism and stuff.

Before they implement it, they’ll probably need an excuse other than “Think of the children” though.

Have you seen Aza Raskin talking about it?
